CAMBRIDGE, Mass. &ndash; MIT was the only NEWMAC institution to receive All-Academic Team accolades for both its men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s programs as announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). The women&rsquo;s squad collected its sixth award while the men received their first nod.

Individually, Yi Wang and Karina Pikhart picked up their third Scholar-Athlete honor as Leslie Hansen and Emily Onufer were repeat selections. The accolade was Hansen&rsquo;s second from the ITA this past season as she was named to its All-America Team following a 1-1 performance at the NCAA Singles Championship. Sheena Bhalla and Sonya Makhni were first-time honorees for the Engineers.
